On Saturday evening last Wesley b.
Hart, undertaken residing on Delaware
avenue, had serious fall. He was OH
the porch or pump shed, and started into
the house, intending to light the hall
lamp. Passing from the dining room
into the parlor he opened the wrong door
the one leading to the cellar. Hetum-
bled down head formost, and was badly
cut and bruised. He managed to grope
his way up stair, and by this time some
of the neighbors,- had heard the noise
went into the house to see what was
the matter. The sight which they met
was almost sickening. Mr.. Hart was
covered with blood, and suffering greatly.
He was put to bed and medical aid made
the suffering man as easy as possible.
Mr.. Hart is Il stout man and the fall
might have killed him. We are glad to
say that he was out Thursday taking a
short walk.

1t is said that dull times are not known
by the agents for the great publishing
house of George Stinson q Co., of Port
land, Maine. The reason ofthis except
ional success is found in the fact that
they always give the public that which
is keenly appreciated and at prices that
all can afford. At present we under
stand, their agents are doing wonder
fully well on several new lines. They
need many more agents in all parts of
the country. Those who need profitable
work should apply at once. Women do
as well as men. Experience is not nee
essary, for Messrs. Stinson IL Co. under
take to show all who are willing to work,
not hard but earnestly, the path to large
success. 1t should be remembered that
an agent can do handsome business
without being away from home over
night. Another advantage-it costs
nothing to give the business a trial, and
an agent can devote all his time, or only
his spare moments to it. Stnson & Co.
guarantee grand success to all who en-
gage and follow simple and plain direc-
tions that they give. We have not
space to explain all here, but full partic-
ulars will be sent free to those who adj
dress the firm; their full address is given

Badly Hurt.e

A Prince Edward Island paper re-
lates an incident showing the power
of Imagination. While a woodchop-
per was at work the ak glanced from
a tree and went deep into his boot.
Nearly fainting, he dropped his ak
and started limping for home. His
wife discovered him with much
difficulty dragging himself along;
She at once ran to his assistance and
got him into the house. when the
laage red mark in his boot proved
too much for his nerves. His wife
was obliged to get off his boot alone,
as best she could. Expecting to find
a fearful wound she was happily
surprised to see that what both had
imagined to be blood was only red
fannel-which he had put on in
lieu of socks, while his only pair
were being washed and dried-pro-
truding from his boot.

Attempt at Robbery.
Az ITALIAN WANTS TO WASH.

Gabriel Demange, late of Italy, took it
into his head last week that he would
like to wash. His Italian friends tried
to dissuade him from establishing such
precedent, but he was immovable. Ac-
companied by two others, he broke into
the Woollen mill last Sunday morning,
and when discovered by William Dean,
his arms were wound tightly around
"muchee soap" in bars. Hisaccomplices
fed, but Gabriel was brought to see the
error of his ways by a straight knock
down argument. lie was taken before
Squire McKeowan, who turned him over
to New Castlejai where heawait trial.
Asan excuse for his crime, the offender
said he "wanted to washee." He will
have large opportunities for some time,
for the qualification of his wishes in this
particular. Soap had been missed from
the mill for a week preceding also, a
piece of cloth. Wonder if Gabriel could
tell anything about it
